WHERE WE RUN
Moran State Park Trails and around Eastsound. For those running trails, we will be starting from Mountain Lake trail head, which is about a 15-minute drive from Golden Tree Hostel. These trails are super well marked and offer many different options in length and difficulty depending on what everyone is interested doing. We will have multiple groups going different routes and distances.

We also recognize that trail running isn’t for everyone and so we will also be offering road options through and around downtown Eastsound.

ACTIVITY LEADERS AND SPEAKERS
We will have the chance to hear from local athletes and experts in the Northwest community. Our lineup for 2019 will also include yoga and opportunities to work with massage therapist, Martha Buldain. The full schedule is TBD, but more info to come!
